Belgium's Eden Hazard says the Euro 2016 quarter-final clash with Wales will be 'complicated' after failing to beat them in qualifying.
Belgium drew and lost against Wales in the European Qualifiers campaign, but looked in fine form on Sunday night with a 4-0 win over Hungary in the last 16 in Toulouse.
Hazard put in an impressive man-of-the-match performance, scoring one and setting up another, but says Belgium will need to study Chris Coleman's side closely ahead of the clash in Lille on Friday.
He said after the game in Toulouse: "They're a complicated side to play against. We played them in the qualifiers, we haven't beaten them I don't think.
"They're quite a compact side with a star player up front [Gareth Bale] so we're going to have to study them well and try to do our best to win this match."
Hazard can't wait to play in Lille - a northern French city close to the Belgian border - where he starred for four seasons before moving to England, but says Sunday's showing will be difficult to top.
"Doing better than tonight would be difficult, I think. Everything was almost perfect. We scored goals, we created a lot of chances, we helped Thibaut [Courtois] keep a clean sheet.
"All in all it was a great night, but we made it easy for ourselves. We created a lot of chances from the start. In the second half we killed off the match. To do better will be hard. But we'll try."
Manager Marc Wilmots was less delighted with the performance, admitting things can always be improved, and that Hungary were afforded a few too many opportunities to equalise before Michy Batshuayi's goal made it 2-0 in the latter stages.
Wilmots said: "There are always things that need to be improved, we still need to take chances. I have told my players that they should remain calm, however, and we allowed Hungary too many opportunities."
Hungary manager Bernd Storck, who led his side to top spot in Group F against all odds, said: "I do not want to talk about the game - we knew that we play against a very strong opponent I want to make my team a huge compliment.
"It was a game on a knife edge, but the victory is, of course, deserved.
"But still I am very happy with the performance, which my team shown here we leave the Euros with our heads held high."
